Sgt Chambers is famous among the LRRP's. So intelligent, well spoken and a wonderful representative of these brave men who were rarely given their due and the respect they deserved. Thassnk you, Sgt. Chambers.

This man should be a senator.

I understand being against war and getting mad at the politicians who enable it, but getting angry at and insulting soldiers seems insanely stupid to me.

Thank you for your service sir! Great man!

I could listen to this man for hours

Except that not one single soldier died for our freedom and safety. Only the corporate interests. All these years later this much is evident.

God bless sir

I need more tom chambers

A friend of mine had the same experience at Frisco airport. He was spit on.

First and foremost: Thank you for your service. We civilians owe you a debt that cannot be repaid. I am an anti war civilian who will never understand how anyone can blame the soldiers that WE sent into battle. Can anyone explain to me the thinking of one who would blame the soldier? That's not a rhetorical question. I don't get it. Do they think we don't need a military? Others think it's the government that sends our people to fight where they shouldn't. Government does crazy stuff, but only the crazy stuff that will get them reelected. If the public allows it, they need to know that ignorance does not absolve them of responsibility. If you don't know history, then you condemn us all to repeat it.

I've admired the brief bits of interviews with you that I've seen so far. I would, however, like to make a couple of points counter to your experience of the anti-war movement. Personally, I joined the Vietnam Veterans Against the War upon my return from a three year enlistment, 26 months of which were at the 249th Medevac. I knew something about the sacrifices daily made... as did every other member of the VVAW. We knew, and so did most of the student opposition, to the war. We knew about the horseshit politics involved and, later, about the specifics of the nauseating deals, the motivations and profits being made by the politicians and arms merchants. In a country where civilians have the duty to control the military, what was the duty of those of us with those understandings?

You are 100% correct! Thank you!

He is correct! Our military did not lose the war! The politicians would not let them win!!!!

I can respect the veterans while still speaking out against the Vietnam war as well as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They were fucking pointless wastes of life and money, American's freedoms weren't at risk and didn't need to be defended.

Hooah Sarge. At this late date you bring new clarity to the outcome of the Viet Nam War. Now I understand WHO lost the war. The ARVN lost, not the USA Army! THE POLITICAL ASPECT of the war plus the so called Vietnamazation was responsible for our leaving Viet Nam. I was on active duty during Jan / June 1960 & active reserves till Dec 1965. They often said we would be deployed to Nam but the 77 Infantry Div, 10 Armored Recon was never activated until after I was Discharged In Dec 1965!

Smart guy. Thank you for your service.

Tom Chambers had a thick spine, a cool head & a lot of guts...no bone spurs on this man.

Verbal IQ allupinthere. I do appreciate these recordings.

They should make a movie about this veteran

Where is the full interview? All I can get are these short clips

Is the video in its entirety available to watch?

San Francisco literally reaping the ''Liberal Defecation'' for that; amongst other things. 12418

America attemped to invade North Vietnam. The NVA and VC pushed them back. Sounds like a defeat to me. You can talk about how withdrawing was a political decision all you want but that decision was made because of the bodies, because of the money, because of public opinion. It was one of the first asymmetrical wars and a war of attrition and the Vietnamese held on longer. I do think it's asinine to blame to soldiers (especially considering most were drafted) but at the same time how can compare the daily life of a soldier to that a protesting civilian when said civilian is protesting that said soldiers are over there at all and they didn't need to be. That's a ridiculous line of thinking. Like I said though, directing anger towards soldiers who didn't volunteer for the war is insensitive and cowardly. A lot of folks from that time period may defend America's actions in the war but most historians would regard the Vietnam war as a huge blunder and embarrassing defeat of the American military. I have no idea how someone could defend that war. Not sure when Vietnam did anything to us (look up Gulf of Tonkin incident and what actually happened before saying anything. Even if it did go down like we said it did we still had no business there. What would America do if Iran had ships off the coast of Florida?). The greatest irony of all this is that to this day Vietnam still is under the rule of their communist party but at the same time they're one of the few countries that actually like America. Liberia, South Korea, Vietnam rank highest in the world when it comes to the general pop. view of America. Absurd as the war itself. I'd like to also mention I can criticize the war without insulting this guy. I don't really think much of him except he seems very intelligent and he probably woulda been more useful to this country in public service or something or the sorts instead of being stationed in the middle of a jungle all because of some ideological pissing contest. I don't pity him, not saying that, but I do feel sorry for him. He shoulda been one of those people he was talking about, going to movies, restaurants, sleeping in a nice bed after.

🇺🇸 got ran out of Korea vietnam Iraq and Afghanistan = realiity

god makes freedom possible, not killing and war. every living thing is born free.

the vietnam war wasnt about protecting american freedom. please

Living in a idea from another mans mind.

The money that paid for war should have went to the indigenous so called black Americans who are the native Americans also.
